- Boss Dual Cube (Roland Micro Cube Upgrade?)
CORRECTION: I say in the video that the amp isn't portable. That is wrong. It does have a battery compartment. My bad.
Today we're checking out something really exciting. It's the Dual Cube by Boss. As you might be aware, I'm a huge fan of the Roland Micro Cube, and the whole Cube series, and this is supposedly some sort of upgrade on that. So this should be interesting.
In case you've been living under a rock, the Micro Cube is an affordable, and portable, practice amp that's been around for ages, and was really the first portable practice amp that actually sounded good.
Enjoy!

How is the volume control of the amp? Is it linear or does it get loud quickly while turning on the volume knob?
230€ quite a price (germany). But can do quite a lot In a little package.
From clean to metal all i need.
My home is tiny.
Everything above 15 watt is to loud.
And i cant find anything more versetile this size.
Katana air is to expensive
Katana mini dosn't cover the same specs.
And i need something more than an ampplug sometimes.
It’s… fine? For what it is? But at 300 United States Greenbacks, I can’t understand why anyone would choose this over a Katana 50, Fender Mustang LT25/50, Blackstar ID:core… or even a Blackstar Fly if you absolutely had nothing bigger than a bookshelf to put it on. 300 bucks is a lot of dough for very little amp. Great demo!
I agree. It seems way overpriced.
Did you mean dollars?
Yeah the katana 50 is a much better deal in my view
@@joeladams2540well it’s just a completely different product. In most applications where you would want the boss dual cube, the boss katana would not be suitable…
USE TWO MICRO CUBES with an A/B switch. Unbelievable stereo sounds and endless mixes between them!!
Shame they don't put in built lithium batteries in like all the others though, this would be more convenient than buying batteries and chargers, time Roland woke up to this. They make great amps but sadly there lagging behind in important features. Oh and the Mic input wont work same time as the guitar input so that's not busking friendly.
Probably you were on a bad trip, even not noting the amp has battery compartment under. I think it’s not the best amp in the world 🌎 but better than positive grid spark for home and hobby purpose. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Yeah that's corrected in the pinned comment.
I have an old Micro Cube that I got 2nd hand about 10 years ago and I won't ever get rid of it
Yeah, I'm keeping mine too.
My Micro Cube has seen off THRs, Voxes, little Fenders, and lots of 'low powered' valve amps. It's a great, great amp.
Buy 2 and put through the boss super chorus bingo....coffee shop Roland Jazz Chorus Amp.
@@johncollins5552 I intend to buy two or three more while they're still available, so will try this. Thanks.
I just bought the Dual Cube LX, and after a few days working with it, I'm really starting to like it. BUT, reviews like this that make is sound bad (as it will "out of the box") are really important, because that is much more likely to be your experience than whatever you see in a professional and/or sponsored review video. BOSS did makes some shocking weird choices with the stock tones in this amp, and his criticism of the delay knob changing delay TIME when you already have a tap tempo was very well made.
However, did you say at the 14:15 mark that the amp "ISN'T portable because it CAN'T run on batteries"? I had to play it back again because I thought I misheard you. Please check the bottom of the amp and locate the battery compartment holding 8 AA batteries. These provide 8-10 hours of life, which is an impressive bit of engineering with all the effects on board. Your criticisms are totally valid, but if you somehow missed that this is a battery-powered amp and that its portability is the whole point of the product, I wonder if that skews your impressions somewhat.
What are my impressions? It sounds terrible out of the box, but if you go into the software, you can find two variations of most amps, and I really wish they had defaulted to the "alternate" version when they sold the product. The default Variation A of HI-GAIN STACK is muddy garbage, but I think Variation B is excellent - it's articulate and expressive, not fizzy, and even cleans up with guitar volume. Dual Cube LX is an imperfect product, but if you are willing to work with it, it has a lot to offer as a PORTABLE lunchbox amp.
I didn't notice that. I'll post a correction in the pinned comment and description.
@@MrPolevaulter No problem, thanks. I think you made a lot of good points about the old Roland Micro Cube - it was even more compact and appears to get double the battery life! But Dual Cube is stereo and does have a lot of other redeeming features, so I just wanted it to be clear that it is a battery-powered amp.
I'm so glad I canceled mine.
Thank you for this review Elmo!
I was waiting for your opinion on this amp for two weeks, couldn't wait loger, bought one and sent it back. It's really that bad!
Love your reviews, every single one 🙂
Cheers
Thank you :)
Sounds pretty disgusting :) compared to my Yamaha THR30II. Thanks for the review Elmo. Great playing skills!
Thanks!
The most honest reviewer on TH-cam.
Hi Elmo, I have bought this amp recently; I have seen that for each amp model there are two possible variations (A and B) ; default factory setting are set for variation A ; with the editor I have cheanged to B and I must say that for almost all the amp models the variaton B is much better ; they reminds me amp models of the Roland Micro Cube (now discontinued); the best one in imho is the Hi-Gain Stack model which in the variation B is really reminiscent an hot rodded JCM 800
Now I have set the variation B as default and I appreciate much more this little amp than at the beginning
so when you download the program, you can connect the amp usb and cahnge the defult amp models A->B, save that on the amp and that will be the default sound??
E..why buy an amp, you have to use a computer to make it sound better, now I got to get the internet , Wi-Fi something, I don't want to join industrial revolution and put money in someone else's pocket, I just want to play My guitar..da#n't..
Still the best? When was it ever the best lol
Hi Elmo nice review...like you always do ;)
...I have this Boss dual cube (but just now is more cheaper than you say , actually here in Spanish web-shops it costs since 169€)
...well i use it for practice playing jazz,funk ,soul,50s etc with batteries in the garden or everywhere outdors where i haven´t any socket ,I feel it´s much louder and fuller than micro cube rx and much much more than micro cube ...sometimes comes to my house a friend who plays tenor saxo and we play together , but then the Boss cannot cope enought volume clearly....I was thinking about an other battery amp a bit more louder in clean sounds ...what you think is more louder for my pourpose ,this dual cube or Yamaha thr10?
Thanks a lot friend¡¡ ;)
For the money I'd check out a Marshall DSL-1, 2 channels and reverb.
Sorry but those 4" speakers kill it for me.
Yeah, not a big fan of it either.
"is it still the best amp in the world" ?
That's a bit of a stretch fella.
It's a cheap amp with average sound quality for buskers, it never was or never will be the best amp in the world ffsk.
The Micro Cube, which this is based on, was the best practice amp imo. It's still pretty damn good.
@@MrPolevaulter I think you would need to run many comparisons using different types of guitars, and different professional guitarists opinions to reach an accurate rating. Rather than simply 'in my opinion'.
I would rate an amp more on it's ability to reproduce the original instruments characteristics without colouring the sound, or distorting it, or compressing it.
Just because you like the sound of a typical distorted electric strat, doesn't really show an amp's potential, because any amp can do that, and in fact, a cheap pedal can do it even on the worst amp.
Maybe if you tried an expensive acoustic with beautiful natural harmonics and overtones, and then tried to test the amp to see if it could capture that accurately, it may have shown just how basic and cheap boss amps are, compared to (just as an example) an AER.
Looks like Boss / Roland messed up
For some reason,to my tin ears;Boss overdrives&distortions/amps ALL sound Harsh!!Roland Micro cube,Classic stack setting is my FAVE!!(But i agree with EK,it DOES need a little extra gain)
If I can recommend something, like Elmo said without saying what I gonna say, just buy something used.
New stuff is becoming ridiculous way overpriced (our fault) and sounding at the end not better than the older stuff, even some multi fx, I almost prefer the Zoom G1xon (hacked) than the new G11.
The "real" good stuff, or it's not portable, also too too much expensive for what it is, with the price one Quad Cortex I can buy PC parts to build a gamer and also engineer workhorse computer, leaving space to use vst for your audio proposes.
Yeah, second hand is good.
The Boss Dual Cube is cool, but not worth the price of upgrade. I'm happy with my old Roland Micro Cube. It's very loud for such a tiny amp.
211 euros for two four inch speakers is 26 euros per inch of speaker....that doesnt sound good. Ill pass on that.
Good job Elmo.
Glad I still have my mk1 micro cube! This sounds very much like a cheap digital practice amp, except it’s not very cheap. I’m a little disappointed
Yeah, me too.
Hi, cool video. Just wanted to ask, bass guitar plugged into roland micro cube + acoustic guitar duo, will the bass be loud enough?
Not sure. Bass into a regular Micro Cube might not work, due to the size of the speaker.
Too pricey. There is katana, roland cube second hand, mini, artist line... Not portable, no batteries but still small but still pricey. Sometimes I cannot understand these big companies and their production supervising.
My Roland Cube 20xl amp selector switch failed.So,cuz i got the amp on the cheap,I pulled the amp section out,and installed a micro cube INSIDE!!(electronics only).Sounds fantastic!!(Constructed a new back plate).
300e is 2 times too expensive, at this price on occasion there are all-tube combos and similar things like old cube - katana - blackstar etc ... for a small price.
Indeed.
I'll just leave my 2c here. I bought this amp during cyber week for 140 Euro. I use it for a variety of things, like monitoring a keyboard, listening to backing tracks while playing the violin, practicing guitar and just listening to music. Since it does a decent job at music playback, and for the size and price it's an okay keyboard monitor (not good though. it lacks treble and is a bit harsh) I'm happy with the purchase. As a guitar amp, I like the cleans, I like the low gain stuff, and I even like the high gain stuff. The crunch though, sounds terrible to me. It's harsh. It's unusable. The Brit stack sounds good at low gain levels, but at mid gain, nope. I did test the b version of the amps, and it didn't help me. I don't think this amp is worth the 200 bucks asking price at all, but for 140, I don't think there's anything better. but if you're looking for that edge of breakup crunch sound, this amp just isn't it imo. I don't even know how boss messed this up this bad, because I like my old GT10 multi effects. Boss has good algorithms, but they messed something up in this specific amp. I didn't spend a ton of time dialing in the eq in the software, so maybe that could help. I don't know. I'll just keep using this as a low gain amp, MP3 Playback and keyboard monitor. I didn't test it with my GT 10 yet, but the GT 10 is huge and not portable at all, it's pointless to combine it with a tiny amp, I'd just use ny valve amp at that point. Cheers.
After listening that amp was really horrible. Elmo, your playing was inspiring same as always but that thing sounded like junk. The high gain settings sounded really thin and harsh, and normally clean tones are even solid state amps can get right but not that one. I honestly didn't hear anything redeeming about that particular amp and especially for that price. For the same amount of money I can get a hughes and kettner stompman and a small cab that will sound so much better.
@Elmokarjalainen I don't have telegram. Tried downloading it but I don't think I got it right
Ehhh, $300... seems I could put that elsewhere. I do have a Microcube and it delivers.
just bought the old microcube..the ac clean to brit combo sounds good to me . rectifier not so much ..i thought the speaker is the culprit but its not. it's the modelling itself that sound like shit..i put amplug metal through aux. .the speaker sounds just fine for its size..
I own this thing. It sounds bad for me. I also own a 15 W Peavey Rage 158 v2 from 1995 Transistor Amp. It sound x times better. The Boss Pedals are really good. So shame on boss for this device. I have seen other reviews where they use the stereo out (and did post processing, I guess) where it sounds great. But that is not the way to test an combo amp. So you did it right with the mike in front. And even with the miked up recordring it sounds better as if you sit in front of the amp.
It sounded like an amp with a cold ! Nasal and boxy , I have a laney 6 watt mini supergroup, with just delay but otherwise analog and it sounds way better than that and there about 99/100 euros?
Not faffing with apps to play with my feet up , others are having bad days with that amp to
I agree that this isn't great sounding. Everything sounds super compressed, the acoustics were terrible, etc. There are much better options whether new or used for the same amount of money or less. Ty for sharing your review!
Indeed.
Is this much louder than the old Microcube? I am looking to upgrade from 15yr old Microcube. What would be best upgrade? Need louder.
Probably.
Whole thing sound thin muddy and like a waist of $$ and time.
I have an old Roland Micro Cube and it's a fun little practice amp. I take it with me when I head out of town to visit family or friends so I can annoy them too with my awful stuck in the 70s guitar playing. It gets an incredible level of gain with the Recto setting. I barely use a fraction of the gain.
This was surprisingly not quite what I had hoped. Great review man.
Yeah, I was a bit disappointed as well.
@@MrPolevaulter is hi-gain the same as the classic stack amp on roland cube 10gx?
Good review, but my experience is that it is a surprisingly good amp given its small size. I primarily use it for cleans, and have no use for heavy distortion, so perhaps that is why it works for me. I agree that for the money a Katana or Catalyst is more amp, but if portability and ease of use is what you need most, this Dual Cube works very nicely. After seeing your review I was expecting to hate this amp when it arrived, but I will be keeping it and using it daily for practicing. I will also be buying the Bluetooth adapter to use the app, and to stream audio to my amp when in the yard or at the beach.
Best amp in the world? LOL Not even close.
you can buy the Roland Cube with four speakers
I just blind purchased one of these and it sounds truly awful. The eq knobs barely do anything and all the sounds sound super muffled and middley, horrible. It sounds like £50 amp im not joking, im so angry at how bad it is, i feel conned.
Sorry to hear.
Hi, could you use this for busking?
Probably
@@MrPolevaulterMost buskers buy this amp to busk.
So... Roland micro cube always at the top for appartement playing ! i got one too ! Very good !
One more honest review. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you liked it
PLEASE HELP! how do I stream backing tracks wirelessly to this amp?? I have the blue tooth attachment, i have the app, but I do not see any way to stream music... which is pretty annoying since I bought that stupid dongle just so I could do this, and it doesn't seem to work. If there is a way to do it, how?
Don't know.
so, if i need a single practicing amp suitable both for guitar and bass (or even keyboard), just for playing it in my bedroom alone with recordered music, trying some effects or connecting it to a PC...i better find an old roland street cube?? (please, i'm going crazy, nothing seems to be suitable for my needs)
The old Micro Cube doesn't have any direct connection to a PC. It has a line out, which isn't great, and you can mic it up.
I prefer Micro Cube RX with 4 speakers
Well if you’re a metal head I guess this amp is for you.
It's not just you Elmo. The amp models are somehow worse than 15 years ago and the delay is comically bad. This thing absolutely sucks. Spark Mini a far better option
Indeed.
Get a Spark 40 less money and way better.
For me the THR10 series from Yamaha was (is) the best practice amp, BUT, you need to open it and take away two lil cables from each other, this 2 seconds thing that will made all of those amps sound so much better, combined with my Ibanez nuTube TS (with the blend knob) sounds just evil beauty, specially using the phaser low end trick and the delay filter tricks on the editor, but you can get nice stuff out ot the box also.
Fair enough.
@@MrPolevaulter I like that the THR10 v1 and X doesn't need that much the editor stuff (even that for me: use the delay filter trick and the phaser trick it's just a must, also I use the plate reverb as a slap back for the presets that I saved on the box), but... (I had the 3 versions) I sold my thr10c (exchanged by the X to be honest).
After, the X version I was experiencing the same thing, feeling that my playing was very very poor, a bit noisy with pedals, not sounding that bad but sounding bad... Like I was not able to palm mute properly, ringing everywhere... But wasn't sounding like a problem, but like I was the main problem.
And them I got the standard to test and tested A B with the X, after I find some posts about a "mounting" problem with the THR's, with a way to fix a potential problem on many THR's amps. After I open the amps and close again...
What a difference! Just for a cable that was mounted on the box a bit too close with the other connector and stuff.
Now I'll put the X version to sell as I can play the same stuff on the standard (the Brown I on X it's insane but I use more the Standard one).
Note: if you like JCM and Mesa channels and also the Crunch channel, don't upgrade the firmware, sounds horrible the Brit Hi and Modern channels on v2 firmware, honestly. You can downgrade for the 1.4 firmware if you want to have or get back the old sound. The THR10II sounds like the V2 firmware of the mk1 but a bit more boxy.
@@szveszs what cable you fixing in that amp? is that necessary? i have thr10x .. I want to do it to if I ever understand what it is 😂 i just don't get it
@@lokmankamal strangely on pickroar was a post (thr10 "squealing" noise fix) from 2014 I think that show the tutorial with photos (how to)... It's's very easy, honestly.

Bra recension. Är lite trött på att ha min 4x12 stående i vardagsrummet emellanåt, så den lille minimalistdjävulen i mig blir lite sugen på en "downgrade". Men en del av ljuden känns inte som deras legendariska Micro cube 🤔.
Vi pratar aldrig om Utd-Spurs igen. Vi ser det som enhörningar. Rena sagor 😉.
Haha 🤣 Vi kan säga att det är sagor 🤣
So as a beginner (played a bit in 1996 as a teen w/fender squire strat/Marshall 5w tube amp) I got a Epiphone LP Special ii player pack and I love it!! *Short question: is the included Epiphone Electar 10w amp better than a Roland Micro Cube GX? The Epiphone amp seemed lacking definition at lower volumes (I play pretty low bedroom volumes to not disturb) so I got the Roland Micro Cube GX and so far it’s pretty awesome but I know nothing about sound profile. I’m trying to play *Sublime Santeria solo* and without mids or even a treble knob, I feel like I’m missing something (probably don’t understand the tone knob) or it’s just my lack of a musical ear?! The amp is so cool for what it is and I *LOVE* the VOX, Marshall and Mesa Boogie settings. To my understanding Sublime used a Mesa Boogie Rec on Santeria. I play almost everything… classic rock Eagles, Skynyrd, Beatles, Stones and Metallica/GNR and 90’s rock etc. So the Roland Micro Cube was highly recommended on so many channels including this one. Does anyone have a setting recommendation? I’m probably overthinking but, should sell the micro cube for a Yamaha THR10 that has a 3/band EQ… or is it just my lack of ear? To be fair I got the micro cube yesterday and played for 3/hours last night Lol
Haven't tried the Electar amp, so can't say for sure. My bet would be that the Electar isn't nearly as good as the Micro Cube.
Thanks will stick with my micro-cube. Still sounds great even when I run an overdrive pedal into it
Indeed :)
How Do you run an overdrive pedal into the micro cube?
Eh, I will stick with my old micro cube, supplemented by my Katana.
👍
Yep it still sounds like sh$t.
Please review the Friedman Little Sister next 🙏😊
I have a ton of gear waiting. Not sure if/when I'll get around to the Friedman.
Have the original cube and the bigger Cube 40gx..the original micro cube just sounds better on the gain channels, the gain channels actually suck imo on the 40GX
It can take some time for the speaker to 'loosen up'. The GX can be a bit 'dry' sounding at first - but improves with use and the clarity of sound is very good.
Some of the GX models weren't great. Can't remember which though.
This thing sounds awful. Thanks for the demo, Elmo.
Cheers!
Sounds pretty bad
i have the Micro Cube GX and this Dual Cube LX. You're right, the new Dual Cube is worse.
The delay knob is terrible as you said, it should change the level, but it changes the time instead. All the amp models sound worse than the Micro Cube GX, they are flatter and less alive (except for the "Acoustic Sim", that's really nice and realistic!).
You can have little improvement with the software. I tried it but my old Micro Cube GX still sounds better: rounder and fuller in the clean, more biting in the distorted.
..
The Micro Cube GX has a 5" speaker, while the Dual has a 4" speaker.. maybe that's part of the problem.
Between Roland Cube 10GX and Boss Dual Cube,what would you recommend?I can’t decide
10GX
@@MrPolevaulter Thank you,I also saw the NUX 20Bt.What is your opinion for this?
2 x 5W is not enough for solid state. It did not sound good when gain is up. Upvoted and subscribed.
Thanks!
I'd rather stick with my Cube 10GX, used for 80 euros. Great for at home and without much programming. But good that you introduced the Dual Cube 👍
Cheers!
I have Cube 10GX as well, this new one is more practical as you can change the amp with a knob.
You could use a second one with a stereo chorus pedal for a great stereo sound with 2 amps.
lol what a gizmo!
Doesnt sound that great. I know its not the same, but for the money you can buy a Katana 50 or a Marshall DSL1...
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
Fair enough!
@@MrPolevaulter ...and of course... lots of beer 😂
Sorry, but I would rather sit and noodle without an amp than use this.
Fair enough.
Hello! In your opinion, does it sound better or worse than the boss katana mini? Great video!
Thanks! Well it's not worth the price. The Katana mini is.
Thanks man, good and honest video as always!
Thanks!
This guy is hilarious and he looks like Axel from guns and roses
Cheers 😀
What is the riff you start playing at 13.08?
Krakatau by Yngwie Malmsteen.
Katana 50 or this for home practice? Which is best?
Katana if I was forced to choose, but neither really.
Price update: this is no longer 311 euros, it costs 199 euros (checked today at Thomann) which is probably a more reasonable price.
Hey Elmo! I'm currently looking for a good practice amp for home use, no plans to play gigs currently. I wondered if you have a recommendation for a stellar amp that just beats most other amps right now?
(I tend to play cleaner stuff, more jazz, funk, Soul and blues rather than metal etc.) I've watched most of your videos on the topic but i'm still not sure which one would be great. Maybe you could help me out and recommend one :)
Harley Benton Tube15 would be my choice if price is an issue.
@@MrPolevaulter thank you! Yeah, i'm looking around the 500€ mark, also looked at the roland Micro cube and the Jazz Chorus 22 which are the lower and higher end of my budget :)
Will definetly checked out the harley Benton. Thank you so much!
Have you tried the Roland Mobile Cube? Wondering if it's as good as the Micro Cube?
Hey Elmo, I am curious as to what pick you are using? Looks quite meaty
1,5 Dunlop
@@MrPolevaulter nice. Thanks 👍👍👍
nice
Why they ever chose to discontinue the original Microcube with inferior sounding products is just entirely beyond me.
Apiculture's finest PS: Rectumfire 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the review. I see now the price is around 180, a lot cheaper than in the beginning (?)
Hi elmo, i like the channel and honest review. One thing im still curious is if the modelling amp in clean mode could take distortion or overdrive pedal? Or is it compressed and still sound clean?
I think it should handle them fairly well, although the speakers will still be small, and the amp not very good.
Hi Elmo. Love your videos even when I disagree with them. You are one of the very, very few people on TH-cam with genuinely honest guitar reviews and I always respect that above all else, no matter what.
My question is simple, I like the sound of the old Roland cubes a lot for what they are and there is one of these boss cubes available second hand. The thing that I like about the boss cube is the stereo effects and also the fact you can hook up backing tracks via Bluetooth (I know you have to pay, but still) - Bluetooth for backing tracks is a huge thing for me.
So considering that, despite the price, do you think this would work for me. What I mean to say, do you think the sound is on a par with the old Roland cubes even if they are a lot cheaper?
Thanks! I think this sounds worse than those old ones, although how much I don't know. I'd have to A/B it to an older one, and I never got around to that.
@@MrPolevaulter thanks a lot for your response Elmo. Supposedly, in the software, there’s a variation A and B on each amp and some have mentioned you get closer to the old cubes alot of the time by going to variation B. But as you said in the video, it’s not good enough out the box for you to even wanna mess with the software and I totally get that! Cheers again. Will hold off for a Katana air perhaps, even though they’re ridiculously expensive.
Thx for the review!

Hi Elmo, I got the question, sorry if sounds silly but I’m new in guitar world, should I buy this amp or multi effect boss gt1 ? Thanks
Both.
The same amp at Sweetwater is 299.oo which is here in Indiana USA. ♥️
It didn't sound to me as good as my old 50 watt Katana, at least via my pixel phone with headphones. I'd still just buy that 100 dollar version that had out originally.
Just FYI my friend. That paint job on that guitar and those lights about blinded me. 😂😂. That body is glaring. 😂😂
What humbucker did you have in the bridge may I ask? I thought you had 3 Yngwie stacked hums? Must be a different guitar that looks similar. still a cool axe.. ♥️🤘🤘
Thanks man.. ♥️🤘♥️
Be safe sir.. ♥️🤘♥️
Different guitar yeah. It's a Seymour Duncan Little 59.
Someday, I'm going to make the drive South to Fort Wayne and check out Sweetwater. I can't tell from You Tube, but I'll bet the bigger speakers in the old Cube sound better than the two boom box speakers in this amp. My cube gave up the ghost some time ago, but the amp speaker still sounds OK driven from an EHX Howitzer. Good review
@@daniellarson3068 Cheers!
@@daniellarson3068 It's a giant campus and everyone is very nice. Great great and great place. They have everything there. It's a guitarists wet dream. 😂
I really don't think the $299 price is the problem here. It's a THR10, which is $329, minimum, with better battery life, more effects, and (slightly bigger speakers). I owned a Katana 100. Great amp, but it weighed 25 pounds and needed to be plugged into a wall. This is not meant to be a full-size combo amp, so comparisons to similarly-priced combo amps are sort of irrelevant. It's a 7-pound battery amp for desktop use and busking.
Excellent review Elmo, as always, a educational experience for me. Blessings.
$299.99 in the US

Possibly lol
With line outs (stereo) it sounds pretty nice.
if the line out is connected will the cube still produce sound or will it become mute
I don't know.
The amp speakers still output sound when line outs are connected.
Yes the amp still outputs sound with rear line outs connected.
Been a minute since I've seen a scalloped neck played.
